Pls guys I need help with regards to the data consumption on my phone.1G data lasts only 2 weeks. checking the analysis shows that the highest data use goes to android OS, sometimes as much as 500mb.

I don't download or watch live videos. All I do is limited to naira land,WhatsApp, opera news and Google. I have tried many suggestions but still no change. Guys with expertise on phone issues,pls help a brother out.

Turn off background data or turn on your data saver if you're using Nougat

Data saver has always be on. But I can't find where to turn background data off. Am using techno k7.

Try checking your Android OS to see if you can identify any unwanted apps. These could be viruses, or simply buggy or unwanted apps that simply install themselved without your knowing. Here's what you have to do:

1. Boot into safe mode
2. Search through your apps (go to Settings > App Manager > Downloaded Apps)
3. Uninstall any suspicious apps (or anything that shouldn't belong there - be careful not to uninstall a default app that is required by your OS).
4. Remove the Device Administrator Status of the uninstalled app: Go to Settings > Security > Device Administrator. Here, you will see all the apps with this status. Simply look for the app and uncheck the box which grants it this status.

Also, did you do any updates recently? Bear in mind that higher data consumption doesn't mean that you have a virus, it can simply mean that your phone needs more data, which sometimes is caused by updates.

Download Android firewall plus (afwall+) from playstore and thank me later. It requires a rooted device tho.

Thanks, you need to go to "Data Usage" and turn on "Data saver" (I think this is the process, however, I don't have a tecno with me).
